1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed at exploring the effects of early rehabilitation nursing (ERN) on the neurological functions, the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) and the quality of life (QOL) of patients with ischemic stroke hemiplegia (ISH).

methodsAdmitted to our hospital from January 2018 to February 2019, 123 patients with ISH were enrolled, among which 70 cases received routine nursing (a control group) and 53 cases received ERN (a study group). The patients in the two groups were compared with respect to the scores of the European Stroke Scale (ESS), the Barthel Index (BI) and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), the incidences of complications and LEDVT, QOL and nursing satisfaction.

resultsAfter intervention, the ESS, BI and FMA scores rose in both groups, but they were remarkably higher in the study group (P < 0.05). Compared with those in the control group, patients in the study group had remarkably lower incidences of complications and LEDVT (P < 0.05), remarkably better indicators of QOL (P < 0.05), and higher nursing satisfaction (P < 0.05).

conclusionFor patients with ISH, ERN can improve neurological functions, reduce the incidence of LEDVT, and improve their QOL, so this safe and effective nursing method is worthy of clinical application.
